do you think they would give me a chance

We must enact the Everyone Gets to Suplex Stephen Miller bill into law

We can’t find any guys who know what they’re doing. Also we can’t afford to train anyone. Huh you don’t say.

IMO senior Dem leaders are actually okay with “thermostatic elections forever” because preventing that from happening would require such fundamental democratic changes to how the party operates that it would threaten their internal leadership positions.

Is there a technical reason there aren’t commonly sold power strips with something like four three-prong plugs and a dozen usb ports? Trying to find a good fit for the family charging station / random bullshit desk.

Always a funny coincidence when the savvy move requires the least amount of work.

Steam store tags for games featuring "perma death" lmao

Watching a CFPB employee on Jeopardy and she not only got to hype the agency, but @kenjennings.bsky.social said some supportive things about their work, too. The damage the Trump administration has done is so widespread commentary about it shows up in so many otherwise apolitical spaces.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Really useful to have such a significant corpus of news attention qs for comparison! Also highlights how much tariffs, DOGE, immigration and the Abrego Garcia case in particular broke through.

Been using Neil Young’s Hangin on a Limb as a lullaby. Recommend.

everyone deserves a union

See the show is about Abundance

A lot of the political influencers who actually have money and power abandoned individual-level interactions on this site months ago, so it's kind of sad to see righteous rage and strawman dunk fests directed at people Ken Martin couldn't pick out of a lineup if he tried.

This is where I skeet from!

Illustrative position. White to play. White has been putting pressure on black's d pawn but their king is also exposed. Is it time to take the d pawn? And if it is, what's the right piece to capture it with?

Disco Elysium sequel but all the dialogue trees are found art from Stancil’s mentions.

Abughazaleh: I’m from the Anti-Discourse wing of the Democratic Party! DNC Delegates, chanting: No more posts! No more posts!

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

Made some map ornaments this season with the laser engraver

Thought I saw a delicious pizza in the creek, shimmering up at me, but it turned out to be fool’s pizza—a big disc of iron pyrite that just looked like pizza, & tasted, at best, like a stale focaccia.

I'd say we need to goad Menswear Guy into a Chotiner interview, but I think he could flip the script. He's that good. His poster's heart was hardened in fashion forums. News and politics sickos can't compete with that.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

PLURIBUS discussion w/ spoilers: The last episode shows a Quechua woman in South America who opts to join the alien-infected humans. They sing and play music, but after her conversion they immediately cease and pack up the village. Will anyone sing that song again?

If you don’t know how misinformation like this travels from unknown sources to socially trustworthy sources, you should not write nonfiction essays about anything.

smoking that stuff that made guys see the Jersey Devil: Thunder Road is a ghost story and Mary is narrating the lamentations of her dead lover who haunts the dusty beach roads.

We're always one perfect UniversalHealthcarePlan.pdf away from defeating our opposition, but unfortunately they keep reading our plans after we publish them. Getting tired of it!!!

Applied for Jeopardy! and Survivor while the baby was napping. Has anyone done both before?

rich guy too high on ket to understand Ghost of Christmas Past, fires up a chatbot to argue with Ghost of Christmas Present, accuses Ghost of Christmas Future of trying to silence him

I was Ady's director of policy and legislative affairs at Be A Hero, I've consulted on a the drafting of a handful of major bills that would implement universal health care in the United States. The answer really is quite simple: enact one of them into law.

I agree with you in principle, I just need a detailed .pdf that lays out the political and policy path you propose, accounting for all possible contingencies. No, I will not fund your research into this matter.

If you’ve ever read a debunking with the myth in bold followed by a breakdown, imagine quoting the bolded myth as the debunker’s views! Stuff like this is brown M&Ms for dismissing a whole book. They’re either working in bad faith or taking awful bad faith sources at face value.

An irony is that major network news has higher levels of trust than other sources. Asking people if they trust “the media” in an era of fragmentation is a gross overgeneralization. Turning CBS into Fox Lite undermines trust, but they want to placate conservatives. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Minor aside of an old joke here as the author describes the unions around the ships and docks. "How many Teamsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" "Sixteen. You got a problem with that?" www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

These It’s a Wonderful Life deleted scenes are wild

welcome to the Second Annual Bluesky Christmas Eve Snowball Fight! please drop a take in the replies and I or someone else will be along to belligerently interpret whatever you said in the worst possible light

“And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”

If a party wins a trifecta it should absolutely be allowed to double the size of the court and pack it with their fanciest hacks. It won’t stop thermostatic election whiplash, but it would require more Rs to own their antichoice positions, in particular, or moderate.

Yes, it's ok to wish our animals a merry Christmas, except the meerkats who are agnostic or angry believers, condemned to a life lived underground, far from God's light.

if they go out of their way to say that a single letter implicating Trump in vile sex crimes is fake, their silence about the other ones speaks for itself
